GST 108 Capstone in Geospatial Technology

Course Description: The capstone is a learning experience resulting in a consolidation of a student's educational experience and certifies mastery of entry level workplace geospatial competencies. The capstone experience should occur during the last semester of the student's educational program. Methods of providing a capstone experience include:

  • A final learning experience that allows a student to apply broad knowledge of the discipline.
  • A comprehensive examination prepared by the faculty of the geospatial education program and administered at the conclusion of the program.
  • A course involving simulation of the workplace, case studies, portfolios, and employment scenarios.
  • A summative project involving the integration of various teams of students performing activities to simulate the situations which may occur in the workplace.  Students will learn how to compile, analyze, and present geospatial data while emphasizing the value of visual communication.

Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs):

  1. Apply critical-thinking skills to solve problems by generating, evaluating, and implementing geospatial solutions.
  2. Demonstrates knowledge of professional code of ethics, such as the GISCI GISP or ASPRS.
  3. Demonstrate knowledge of standard professional practices and organizations (URISA, ASPRS, GITA, USGIF, resumes).
  4. Develop, manage, complete, and evaluate a comprehensive geospatial project.
  5. Demonstrate ability to work collaboratively in a team setting.
  6. Present data and project results in a meaningful format (i.e., digital, written, verbal, graphical).
